Let her sleep

This is your yearly reminder that your gardens aren’t finished yet.

They are still feeding pollinators.

Once everything is spent, let her sleep.

In her winter hibernation, she provides shelter for lightning bugs, pollinators, and other wildlife.

Also, all those leaves that fall also provide shelter and nourishment for trees and soil. Plus they make for a great free mulch.

Plus, I’m already tired of hearing and smelling your leaf blowers.

Once it hits 50 degrees for a week straight cut everything back and let it become your mulch for next season’s gardens.

Just like the gardens, it is also the season for us to begin more rest and hibernation.
